It's another year for the longstanding NBA 2K franchise, and that also means the return of NBA League Pass as a reward for players who purchased the NBA 2K24 25th Anniversary Edition. After being tied to the Championship Edition of NBA 2K23, gamers once again got a chance to snag their live basketball fix at the same time.
With delays in when you can redeem NBA League Pass from your NBA 2K24 25th Anniversary Edition always leading to some confusion, we've got all the details you need here to make sure your rewards are doled out.
NBA 2K24: How to Redeem NBA League Pass from 25th Anniversary Edition
Most importantly, players need to remember that the 12-month NBA League Pass subscription is only included in the NBA 2K24 25th Anniversary Edition. This top tier special edition of NBA 2K24 was only kept available for purchase until September 10, 2023, meaning players who snagged a smaller edition or waited to see how the game turned out have missed their shot at the free NBA League Pass offer.
However, if you are one of the lucky few who snagged the NBA 2K24 25th Anniversary Edition while it was available, there are some extra steps to actually redeem this offer. Perhaps most importantly, you need to know that your NBA League Pass code won't even be delivered until October 6, 2023 at the absolute earliest.
If you're panicking because there's nothing in your inbox around launch, it's just because things haven't rolled out yet. In order to set things up and make sure the code is delivered on time, you'll first need to install and launch your digital edition of the NBA 2K24 25th Anniversary Edition.
Once installed, login to your NBA 2K account or create a new one, but most importantly keep in mind that the email tied to this account is the one that will get your NBA League Pass code. As a result, we highly recommend using a personal email you'll maintain access to and not one that you may not still be using in a few months.
When is the deadline to redeem your NBA League Pass code?
Players only have until December 1, 2023 to complete these steps. Once the rollout begins on October 6, 2023, players who have installed and linked their account should get their codes within about three days of that rollout. If you don't finish these steps until after October 6, you'll likely have to wait at least three days after completing the account link for the code to be sent.
As for how to redeem that NBA League Pass code once it arrives, there should be detailed instructions in the email that includes that code. Keep in mind that NBA League Pass is normally set to auto-renew, so keep an eye on your subscription next year or set a reminder if you want to make sure you aren't charged when the free 12-month period experies. Once received, you must redeem your code by December 31, 2023.
Finally, existing subscribers to NBA League Pass are still able to redeem this offer. Monthly League Pass subscribers can redeem the code and the 12-month period will begin after their current month ends. Season League Pass subscribers will need to cancel their existing subscription and start a new one under the same NBA account with the redemption code.
If you run into any hiccups or notice too much time has passed and your code still hasn't been delivered, submit a ticket with 2K Support to have someone look into this. If you have any trouble redeeming the code, you should instead make contact with NBA League Pass Customer Support.
